Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of a real battle. Albeit, with stun weaponry and training lightsaber blades to prevent death and mortal injury of your own comrades participating on the other side, but still a battle none-the-less.

In a bold and surprising move, the enemy team has laid claim (with authorization from the senate) of the previously neutral-ground Taldryan Senate Complex as their base of operations for the mock war. The senate complex is a high-security, high-defense facility located in the massive crater that was left behind after the asteroid from the Children of Mortis was removed at the end of the last Great Jedi War.

With the heart of it filled with water, and the facility itself surrounded by a powerful shield and wall, creativity must be used in order to attempt and bypass its defenses and breach the complex.

Choose Your Adventure

There are four possible objective points that you can aim for, and all submissions must follow at least one of the four:

---

Objective 1: Capture
The leader of the opposing team has been confirmed to be on-site within the Taldryan Republic Senate Complex at this very moment. Your objective, if you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the complex and capture the opposing team’s leader. You have the option of doing so by yourself, or with a four-person strike team delegated to you from the Office of Secret Intelligence. In doing so, you hope to shift the mock war in your favor by denying the enemy the support that would otherwise be given.

Intelligence predicts the leader will be deep within the facility near the senatorial chambers, one of the more heavily guarded regions, with most of the legion on-site.

Objective 2: Neutralize
As a base of operations, the Taldryan Republic Senate Complex is also a strong military asset that provides support to the war effort for the enemy team and something they now rely on and lean on for use. Nothing better than to be a thorn in their side and cause them trouble, or even deny them some parts of it while letting the main force of your team take advantage of it.

Your objective is to neutralize and disable one or more of the Senate Complex’s core systems: computer network, security systems, underwater reactor, shields, or any other specific target you deem beneficial to hindering the enemy team.

Objective 3: Download
Bases have their upsided, and their downsides. When in the field without a central hub or base, it can be harder to ascertain where important information is being kept regarding enemy factions and teams. It could be on the commanding officer, could be on a subordinate or tactician, or held somewhere random within a base or even nearby.

The perk of a base however, is they generally have a network to some degree. And that network usually provides a conduit or path to figuring out where sensitive information is being held. Your task is to quietly infiltrate the Taldryan Republic Senate Complex by any means necessary, figure out where in the facility the secure data core would be located at, and then download any and all data relating to the tactical and intelligence information gathered regarding your team and their offensive and defensive plans.

Given the high defense and number of personnel present, along with the fact you are going in solo, direct combat is not advised as just getting to the core will be difficult enough with the number of opponents who would be standing in your way. Your team leader wishes you the best of luck, and awaits your safe return with the information.

Objective 4: Raid
It’s only right to meet an enemy head-on. And you ensured that this was known to your team leader, especially without the support of the fleet on either side to hinder a direct fight. Given this provided a solid opportunity for a direct ground battle, and since the best defense is a good offense, the plan has become a complete raid against the Taldryan Republic Senate Complex.

With the entire legion at your back, the objective is simple. Capture the complex and claim it for your team, while either defeating the opposing team or booting them out of it. Ending the war is not a direct objective, just a secondary one. Just expect heavy opposition from the enemy team and their legion, and the full defensive might of the complex to be used against you.
